Working in Selby

We work right across Selby — YO8 — and in neighbouring Goole and Pontefract.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Selby: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning ahead in Selby rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If someone in your Selby home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.

Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Selby. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a Disabled Facilities Grant from your local council can pay up to £30,000 towards adaptations such as a level-access shower. Fitting a new electric shower, or any other new circuit or wiring change in the bathroom, is notifiable under Part P.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Selby: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Selby?

An accessible bathroom in Selby usually costs £5,600–£13,000 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover YO8 in Selby?

Yes. We cover all of Selby, including YO8, and nearby Goole, Pontefract and York. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Selby?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Selby?

Building control for Selby is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
